None! Mycosis fungoides is the common name for the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. A lymphoma is a malignancy of the white blood cells that are known as lymphocytes.

The patches may be scaly or flaky and can thus look a lot like an ordinary rash such as the rash of proriasis or of a non-specific dermatitis. Many times, the plaque-like rash will look like a fungal dermatitis, and thus the name for the syndrome. However, there really is not a fungus involved.
